Wike made the remarks while inspecting ongoing road projects in Karu, Apo-Karshi, and Kubwa in Abuja, explaining that his visit to the APC chairman was a private engagement and not a political event, as speculated by some observers.

He further noted that he is not obligated to disclose every private interaction or friendship, especially those formed before current political affiliations, adding that political differences should not prevent individuals from maintaining cordial relationships.
